Initial analysis

The 7-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1508-1512 McAllister Street in Alamo Square, owned by Dahan Iv LLC, has undergone several significant renovations since its 1904 construction. The property experienced a major setback in 2015 when a fire rendered all units temporarily uninhabitable, leading to comprehensive repairs including kitchen remodels, bathroom updates, and electrical system upgrades across all units in 2016, with completed work totaling over $60,000. More recent improvements include infrastructure upgrades such as sewer and water system replacements in 2017, foundation work at the front entry stairs in 2016, and a completed soft-story retrofit that received its Certificate of Final Completion.

In 2023, the building faced several building code violations related to fire safety and emergency systems, including issues with the fire escape ladder, gas utility shutoff tools, fire extinguisher maintenance, and compliance affidavits. These violations were all abated by May 2023. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to safety and compliance requirements, though there have been recurring boiler permit renewal issues and various repairs required for the back stairs between 2015-2016. The property underwent a complete electrical system upgrade in 2015-2016, including installation of new wiring, smoke detectors, and modern electrical fixtures in all units. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to parking enforcement issues in the vicinity, with multiple reports of driveway blockages in 2023-2024, though these are external to the building's management responsibilities.

Risk rating

How 1508-1512 Mcallister St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
